The video panning will be doctored, undoubtedly spliced together.

Folks. What you have to realize by now and what the free press ignores is:

This is a classic Mob Boss ploy. The Mob Boss tells his crew to steal money from good people and businesses via a scam, lies, and bribes like; "Tariffs," "Stock Market YoYo," "An Airplane Palace," or "Big Beautiful Bill." Then, after the heist, the "Loot" is split up between the Boss and his Mob Goons aka "billionaires. If any of the good people speak up about the Mob Boss, The Heist, or his Goons stealing money, the Mob Boss sends out his Goons to beat you up, plant evidence and says that the good people are the crooks.

He learned this from Rudolph Ghouliani.

Speaking of Rudy, I just want one person to ask him on camera who leaked that the 5 Family mob bosses were due to be arrested.

"If we're going to jail, man, like, let's go

All we'll do is move forward

And if they lock us up

We knock it off

And God give us the blood to keep going

Let's go!

The whole world's watching!

The whole world's watching!

The whole world's watching!

The whole world's watching!"

....

No. People who protest don’t hate our country. They just don’t like narcissistic toddlers who want to give themselves a $92mil birthday parade, while cutting Medicaid and attempting to add $3tn to the national debt.

Trump is clueless about what constitutes leadership in a democratic society. He is a mob boss whose only mode is destructive, oppressive and thuggish. May God help us all. 🤦🏻‍♂️🙄🤬

This whole situation is nauseating. I wake up every morning afraid of what he has done or is planning to do. This parade is disgusting. Also his administration is weakening veteran’s benefits. So ugly that a draft dodger is having a military parade. Shame on this country

It's easy to be a bully when there is no one in the audience to bully. Of course, it just makes him look foolish and weak. Smarter people decided long ago to NOT rally in DC on that day. Rallying all around the country is so much better. Everyone should be taking video and pictures and posting them on social media. This should be done in large numbers so there are thousands of pictures from around the world.

He will not be able to touch the rallies with his empty threat and they will get reported with larger numbers than his parade, which he will exaggerate to compensate. Looking forward to laughing my ass off when he doesn't get the turnout he is hoping for.

His actions and his words demonstrate just how much he disrespects the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. As a president he took that oath to defend the US citizens from tyranny and oppression. He is illiterate at best and, more to the point, is inciting civil violence to push his policies to turn the country into a dictatorship. I am hoping that he doesn’t order his parade to fire upon citizens protesting against him. Such a little man and he wants to be king or dictator whichever gives him the power to control everyone. He’s such a dangerous person that is eroding our democracy.

Another thing to consider…Trump is also implementing, most if not all the plans laid out for and by his administration, Project 2025. The republican Congress is going along because this plan has been a long time goal, like from Reagan era until today. And over the decades it’s morphed from white economic dominance to white Christian nationalism. Democrats have been playing by old DC rules & norms while the conservative PACs and think tanks have been training new generations fresh out of Ivy League law school graduates to figure out ways to twist settled precedents into ways to get the things they want from court rulings. Just my thoughts from watching the way things have gone down since 1980. 🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s scary to think this has been in the works for so long. And so very sad. In my opinion, the rhetoric may have changed, but the desire for male dominance, particularly white male dominance, has stayed the same. Now it’s cloaked with the Bible as its cover. I wonder how the Lord looks upon the distortion.
